is equality then the law of the land? is marriage equality the law of land? >> it would depend on how the supreme court rules. if it up holds the ruling as it currently is, it would immediately affect california and marriages would begin again here in this state. and it would prevent any other state from granting a right and then revoking that right as california did. but, look, this court can also go back to judge von walker's ruling which was a 3wr0d and sweeping victory that looked at equal protection and it was in the realm of loving d. virginia and brown v. bord. when you talk about doma, you don't have to look further than the plaintiff in this case. the aclu brought that case with edie. she had been married to her wife for 20 years. got married in canada. moved to new york and, unfortunately, her wife passed away. and you know what the government did when her wife passed away? they sent her a tax bill for $300,000. they wouldn't do that to you and your wonderful wife and they wouldn't do that to other straight couples in this country. it's not fair. >>
